BRAINERD — The Brainerd Lakes Area Community Foundation is sponsoring The State of the Lakes Area from 2-4:30 p.m. Friday, June 17, at the Gull Lake Sailing School.
Seasonal and year-round residents are invited to attend to hear about what is happening in the Brainerd lakes area and celebrate the start of summer with their lake neighbors. The event will be followed by the Gull Lake Sailing School’s annual Opening Party.
Local organization leaders will present on topics that affect residents’ quality of life, including the National Loon Center on its building progress, an update from Crow Wing County, the Gull Chain of Lakes Association on the health of area lakes and waterways, Brainerd Lakes Area Chamber updates and summer activity schedules, Essentia Health system and Cuyuna Regional Medical Center on local health care services, Lakes Area Music Festival details about the upcoming summer concert series, updates on the Gull Lake Trail, WonderTrek Children’s Museum, the Brainerd Family YMCA and Mount Ski Gull’s summer activities, and Karl Samp from BLACF on charitable giving opportunities and how BLACF strengthens the community, especially around Gull Lake.
These organizations and others may also have an exhibit table where those who attend can learn about additional activities and request more information.
To register, go to www.communitygiving.org/events and select "The State of the Lakes Area." The event is free, but advance registration is requested. A dinner is available for an additional charge at the GLSS’s event.
